My mother gave me Jenny Kee's autobiography to read for my birthday and I've not been able to put it down. In fact, I'm hooked on it. Kee was a beautiful eccentric that defined Australian fashion in the 1980's. Her knitwear was featured in major publications worldwide, and was hugely supported by Italian Vogue's Anna Piaggi. She was making trends when other Australian designers were borrowing them, and she used Oz as her backdrop to do so.
